as occur in every-day life. It has been suggested that a good publication, like the _Atlantic Monthly_, conducted entirely by women, would do great good, but we fear it would not be supported. I was told, however, by the gentleman who has charge of _Harper's Magazine_, that two thirds of the articles are contributed by women, and they receive better prices than men would. The _Saturday Press_ says that _Harper's Magazine_ pays its writers $7.50 to $10 per page; the _Atlantic Monthly_, from $6 to 10; the _Knickerbocker_, $3, which is equal to $5 for _Harper_ and $6 for the _Atlantic_; the _North American Review_, $1.50 per page. The prices mentioned are said by one supposed to know, to be exaggerated, and made the exception, not the rule. Mr. H. C. Carey, in an article styled "Rewards of Authorship," writes: "I have now before me a statement from a single publisher, in which he says that to Messrs. Willis, Longfellow, Bryant, and Allston, his price was uniformly $50 for a poetical article, long or short--and his readers know that they were generally very short; in one case only fourteen lines. To numerous others, it was from $25 to $40. In one case he has paid $25 per page for prose. To Mr. Cooper he paid $1,800 for a novel, and $1,000 for a series of naval biographies, the author retaining the copyright for separate publication; and in such cases, if the work be good, its appearance in the magazine acts as the best of advertisements. To Mr. James, he paid $1,200 for a novel, leaving him also the copyright. For a single number of his journal, he has paid to authors $1,500."
